THE STARS by JOHN GOULD FLETCHER

First Line: THERE IS A GODDESS WHO WALKS SHROUDED BY DAY
Last Line: MEN ONLY SEE HER NAKED GLORY THROUGH THE LITTLE HOLES IN THE VEIL.
Subject(s): PRINTS, JAPANESE;

There is a goddess who walks shrouded by day:
At night she throws her blue veil over the earth.
Men only see her naked glory through the little holes in the veil.
